TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 15/05. Up 9%.) An alternative to the straight oil and gas stocks. The drilling industry is doing extremely well. A stock you should own if you want to be in the energy industry. They'll have a long and happy run. Would buy more under $30.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 12/05. Up 15%.) All oil service companies such as Ensign (ESI-T), Precision (PD-T), Trinidad (TDG.UN-T) and Wellco (WLL.UN-T) are doing extremely well. Had a very wet spring which tied up some of the rigs and could affect the earnings. Would look to buy under $30. Still good value.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 10/05. Up 11%.) A good way to be diversified in the oil/gas sector on a broader sense. One of the best in service companies. Coal bed methane will require a huge amount of drilling. They will be making money for the next 3/4 years easily.

BUY

Looks good right now. Not overly bullish on oil and gas, but expects this will become Canada's top drilling company which would give them a premium valuation. Starting to get some traction on some of their non-Canadian drilling rigs.

TOP PICK

In general, he likes the oils which very recently have started a new major upleg. Good price and should have a good upside potential. The technical breakdown point would be $26/27.

TOP PICK

If you believe in the oil/gas, particularily the gas side, should have a service stock in their portfolio. Good management. Will continue strong even if the price of oil goes back to $35 because the supply of gas in North America has hit some very finite limits.

TOP PICK

(A Top PIck Mar 10/05. Up 1%.) Hoping on the current market weakness it will pull back a little, say under $26 or even $24 if it gets down there. They have their day rates up and are building more rigs and the demand is huge. It will remain huge for years and years. Now a growth industry rather than a cyclical industry.

TOP PICK

Likes it at under $25. Drilling stocks continue to be undervalued and underloved. The risk is that the sector is running out of decent crews.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 1/05. Down 7.5%) It had a correction the same as the rest of the oils. Not worried.

BUY

In general, he likes the servicers and the drillers. A way to play the whole commodity story without taking so much of a specific risk on properties and the development of them. This one trades in line with its peers. Has expanding free cash flow. Trading at a discount to US comparables.

DON'T BUY

Drilling in Canada is sort of a duopoly between this and Precision Drilling (PD-T). An exceptionally well run company. Stunning free cash flow. The problem is the drilling cycle, so far, has a record number of wells looking like another record being set. The stock reflects that. Historically juniors have just thrown money at the drillers, but are more disciplined now. Would rather play the producers than the drillers.

TOP PICK

Good management. Hands on guys. Probably buying it today.

TRADE

Thinks the market is trying to walk the stock up. He's going to look into it, ask next week.

TOP PICK

All the drilling companies have had big runs, and probably need a little rest. They should be part of everyone's portfolio. Would buy on pull- backs. Day rates are going up and their rigs are being utilized. Have had good drilling weather. Should show some good earnings growth. Coal bed methane requires lots of wells, so there should be a lot of drilling in future.

BUY

A very attractive name. The drillers and service companies are one way to not have specific risks. Reasonablt valued with very little debt.
